I go for a nature walk at Skunk Cabbage with my Rolleiflex and Hasselblad X1DII. I shoot Ilford HP5+ and medium format digital.

What a great way to stretch your legs. A walk in the park with your cameras. That image at 2:26 is fantastic, love it. I love shooting my Rollei too!

Thanks, nature does that to me. ;-)
Nice photos. SUPER exposures! In high contrast forest light - I'm envious!

Thanks. I am going to do a video on how I control the highlights with exposure and development.
Beautiful color photographs with the Hasselblad X1D II. Those cameras produce great color.

Seriously, the color is amazing out of the Hasselblad.
I admire your steady hands with the Rolleiflex. Beautiful use of high contrast there.

Thanks it’s amazing how low of a shutter speed you can go with the Rollei.
Great video, as inspiring as usual! Thanks! 🙂

Excellent as always, and nice to see such good results from a "stop along the way to my assignment" in addition to your multi-day treks into the wilderness. Particularly like the leaves in B&W. Speaking of which, I have just started experimenting with CatLabs 80 with my Wista 45-based on your video recommendation; pretty good so far. Thanks for doing these.

Good video Todd. I've driven by that place a few times on my way to Kelowna. I tried to stop there last year but it was closed to the public for some reason. I'll be driving by 4 times in July/August. So hope to stop at least once to get some shots. Hopefully something as good as yours.

Unfortunately the trail was closed about a kilometre in as well, a lot of the trails and hikes seem to be closed right now, not sure why.
I would like to more know about how you approach color balance settings on your digital cameras in situations like this as well as out on the prairie. Great video. Those big trees make the camera gear, and people, look so small - a wonderful place.

Well I shoot everything in RAW so I fine tune the colour in Photoshop. But I will often shoot in daylight balance just to see how the colour is.
Great video

Nice placement of the highlights on the b&w shots. I have the same meter, but when I am shooting digital and film in same outing, I tend to get lazy and let my mirrorless camera be my film meter.

I do that all the time. Digital camera meters are great now.
holla if you ever make it down to seattle
0:50 Remember, commenters, Todd was on assignment. Repeat after me, “he was on assignment.” Ok, good.

A lot of the times I just also want to see what it looks like in color. But then there was the mossy tree stump, that’s just a natural color shot. Thanks for watching as always!
Two questions How did you hit the ball? What lens did you have on the Hassy? Love all your videos. Well done. Thanks

Well, I'm not going on tour anytime soon! I pretty much used all of my lenses on this shoot, 30, 45, 65 and 90 for the Hassey. Thanks for watching ;-)
I see you develop your own film. I want to get in to that part of photography, Is there any good at home development kits you would recommend? I do only BW 120 film
@toddkorolphoto

That's great. Yes Ilford has some home developing kits as well as Paterson, check them out.
Unfortunately the trilliums weren't in bloom. One plant, three leaves, one bloom every three years. Big and beautiful would look great in square format.

Great video Todd. Have to say listening to the sound of the shutters firing the 'Blad sounds awful, can't fault the images though.

Yes, but you have to remember, the shutter is in the bald lens which is dampened. But the Rollei does sound better. 😉
